The Naperville City Council rejected a request to spend an extra $2 million to build noise-reducing walls along 248th Avenue in areas that don’t qualify for federal funding.
In a unanimous decision Tuesday, the council authorized city staff to proceed with plans to construct abatement walls that will benefit 75% of the residents whose yards backup to 248th Avenue. Blocks that did not meet the federal criteria, such as from Grassmere Road to Lapp Lane and from the Tall Grass Greenway to Landsdown Avenue, will not receive the walls.
“If it doesn’t meet the criteria, then we shouldn’t be spending the money for a select few residents that will be getting a huge advantage on the rest of the taxpayers in town,” Hinterlong said. Bill Novack, director of city’s Transportation, Engineering and Development department, said the model used in the traffic study does not take into account the use of or increase in electric vehicles.
“Things are changing, and one of the things that’s changing is that these cars will be considerably quieter,” Chirico said.Novack said the homes near Grassmere Road are set back from 248th Avenue because of stormwater management facilities and narrowly missed meeting the federal criteria. Houses near Landsdown Avenue don’t qualify because of their distance from 248th Avenue due to their configuration on a cul-de-sac.
